History

  • 2023-09-10 – Something quick with brats, dogs and corn on the cob. Made about 1/3 recipe. Didn’t round out exactly but they were yummy.
  • 2022-05-08 – Mother’s Day dinner. This is a very easy way to make yummy carrots. Made a half order. Cut everything in half and it was great.
  • 2022-06-11 – Wanted to mix this with another carrot recipe that uses honey but was under the gun to get it done quickly because we had guests doing other cooking. Sticked with the basic recipe and all was very good.
